I'll add that I have a challenge about it. Taking on a persona, I agree can have an effect in isolated cases and did work in the example you gave as the ultimate alternative to communicating with your close friend. I wonder about the danger of doing this too often. For example, adopting the persona of another person can come across as inauthentic if not used carefully. Ultimately, I believe that we need to be ourselves as the "foundation" of the interaction. I believe I have used the technique you describe successfully in the past without realising it. Often, when running a group, I find I get clear attention when standing and illustrating on a wipe board. I think this give the illusion of authority as you describe. I wonder if, in some cases that it can have a reverse effect in that some people react badly to authority. (Actually, I'm react somewhat negatively to draconion authority myself). Perhaps the trick is to assess who we are working with, find what kind of interaction works and use it. Thinking freely as I write this, it is about establishing rapor first and foremost, as you have described before. Rintu,
